Located on the western shore of Long Lake in the Adirondacks, Camp Mange Takk is the retreat and summer home for a university professor’s family and guests.
The building is set into a steeply sloping bank, affording panoramic views of the lake from both the main level and the underground master bedroom suite. The foyer is dominated by a 20” diameter white pine tree trunk used as the main support for the parasol roof design. Cut below the rootswell to appear as if it has grown waiting for the house to be built around it, the trunk adds rustic character to the craftsman detailing of the home.
